⚠️ URGENT WARNING to all women shopping alone

I’m shaking as I write this, but I need to warn everyone in [City/Area Name]. I was leaving the mall parking lot around 6 PM tonight. It was already pitch black. I loaded my bags into the trunk, got in the driver's seat, and locked the doors (habit). That’s when I noticed a flannel shirt wrapped around my windshield wiper. My first instinct was to get out and pull it off so I could see. I literally had my hand on the door handle when I remembered a post I read on here a few months ago. DO NOT GET OUT. This is a tactic to get you to exit the vehicle while the engine is running or the keys are in your hand. Distracted, frustrated, and vulnerable. I honked my horn long and hard, and I saw a dark SUV two spots over suddenly turn its lights on and speed off. I drove to a well-lit gas station before removing the shirt. Please, tell your wives, daughters, and moms. The holidays are prime time for predators. Keep your head on a swivel. #SafetyAlert #HumanTraffickingAwareness #Carjacking #WomensSafety #HolidayShopping #CloseCall #StaySafe
